Best Bookshelf speaker 1300.00 budget

Imaging/clarity are most important. Will be used as 2 channel stereo system with no sub. Don't need alot of bass for my listening..however some is needed. Have listened to Revel M105 1300.00 pr and from reputation Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1 for 850 or so. Willing to listen to recommendations. This is for a small living room that is not closed in...10 by 12.

Any showroom who wouldn't allow you to audition with your own amplification is not worthy of consideration!
In a 10 x 12 if you need sub amplification ask yourself if price is everything?

Do you actually plan on placing these inside a bookshelf cabinet, or on an open shelf or on stands? If they're going in a cabinet then you definitely want to avoid rear ported speakers since the cabinet would act like an enclosure, as mentioned above.
